We are all about free speech, but it is in bad taste to make light of this.

It's threads like these that make me see why this country has fallen victim to a third-world commie like Obama. Our side is supposedly the good side yet a significant percentage of those on our side don't deserve a country that's any better than any other hellhole on earth.

In this case, I don't see it quite like that. I think it just gets abstracted (it IS the Internets) and people forget that there are people behind many of the things we read.

I had an interesting experience a while back on FR, it was a story that seemed chock full of humor (This was my post):

Well...

At least they weren't a Roger Clemens


and a well-built


flight attendant stumbling off into the woods behind a diner during a drunken stayover then getting busted because the busty women was caught butt-naked inebriatedly fumbling around in a Fire Chief's truck looking for a flashlight so she could stagger naked back into the woods to hopefully find her clothes then locate the pilot who was still out there somewhere passed out in the dark before the Fire Chief called the Police (which he did) and showed up to encourage her to show her where the guy was before he froze to death passed out somewhere only to find out she was so drunk and they had gone so far out into the large forest that they had to use bloodhounds and heat-seeking helicopters to discover his unconscious, splayed and prone figure on the ground with his (and her) clothing nowhere in sight which impelled the authorities to slap both of them with all kinds of charges ranging from lewd and lascivious behavior to felonious breaking and entering after which the airline decided it had to punish them both by invoking "The 12 Hour Bottle to Throttle" rule (of which they were in obvious violation of) and thereby causing their employment to be terminated with the resultant story pasted nearly everywhere on the Internet (which basically means everywhere on earth) so now you are famous in a Twenty-First Century kind of way just because you were doing what comes naturally to humans intensified by and lubricated with boredom, alcohol and lust...

Nothing like them...:) No matter what, I think aliens would look at us and find us most entertaining. Humans are colorful, if nothing else.

Now, nobody really got hurt. But these two people had to endure probably hundreds of thousands of pieces of opinion like this, because they got drunk and made a mistake. Sometimes it occurs that, if it were not for luck, I could have been that guy.

In the case of this story, people died horribly, and people, including us, forget this is real.

It isn't some abstract thing.

So the survivors say that the back doors were locked. Although a local channel had a news spot that showed a similar limo and how the handles are deactivated when locked, but pulling the door locks “stems” would still work to unlock them.
